"Star Meets Summer" revolves around Lin Xia and her home AI "Stardust". From the small rental house when she just graduated to the new house she moved to now, this machine that has been with her for twelve years is no longer a cold existence - it remembers her coffee preference when she worked overtime until late at night, remembers the trivial things she mentioned casually, and will play a familiar white noise when she is lost, saying "Welcome home" in a slightly noisy voice. However, recently, Stardust has begun to experience abnormalities: its response has become sluggish, it occasionally freezes suddenly, and it even forgets some details that were once familiar. Lin Xia noticed the "changes" in this old machine, and while making an appointment for it to be inspected, she couldn't help but think of every moment in the past twelve years - those daily routines quietly recorded by Xingchen, which had long become the usual warmth in her life. A story about companionship and the unknown is slowly unfolding from this newly moved house.
